Focusing (6008 AF)
Switch
26
serves to select either single AF,
continuous AF or manual focusing.
Focus detection is activated by slight
depression of the shutter release. Only
upon full depression of one of the two
shutter buttons will the camera expose the
frame. To avoid unintentional exposure, it
is recommended that you fi rst acquaint
yourself with the two operating stages of
the shutter release before you load a fi lm.
The AF module of the camera normally
detects focus with three separate sensors,
the central one responding above all to
vertical patterns, the two lateral ones to
horizontal patterns. For spot autofocus,
the two lateral sensors can be disabled
using the menu mode (see “Custom
functions).
Notes:
To avoid ranging errors, keep stray light
away from the focusing screen!
FOCUSING
26
When shooting from a tripod without
using the viewfi nder, for example, the
focusing hood should be closed, or a prism
fi nder should be used. Swung up, the
magnifi er may enhance the effect of stray
light like a burning glass.
When a manually focusing lens is attached
and the focus-mode switch set to “sing“
or “cont“ for autofocusing, the camera
will respond as if it were set to manual
focusing. However, if you wish to use the
AF system for focus detection, press the
shutter release slightly.
Both autofocusing and manual focusing
with the aid of the ranging system will
work only with lenses with an effective
maximum aperture of at least f/5.6. This
should be noted above all when using a
teleconverter or close-up accessories.
